New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes - Lemmy.World

Hope Valve loses and something changes. Valve has been getting away with this bullshit for way too long because people like them and therefore give them a pass on all of their shitty behaviour.

It isn’t always that simple. It could lead to age verification requirements which might be the goal as opposed to banning loot boxes. Then what has people upset about discord wanting face scans or IDs could end up becoming a legal requirement for online gaming accounts that want to play games rated T and higher.

And this age verification thing has been getting pushed throughout the world with attempts at chat control in the EU and what’s already happened in the UK.

implement age verification on games with loot boxes. watch sales crash. stop implementing loot box funded games.
